An empowerment site for single women

As adults, we have to take care of business. Whether you work a 9-to-5 or you’re self-employed, part of being a responsible adult is making money. We’re not supposed to love money, but it’s definitely a necessity.

While you’re single and free, it’s a great time to explore new opportunities. Hate your job? Mean boss, rude co-workers? Don’t feel like you have to stay in the same position forever. Starting your own business is not easy, but it’s worth it. It might be hard to figure out where to start.

First, focus on your passion. What do you really enjoy doing? What’s something constructive that you would do for little money if you were super rich and didn’t have to worry about money. Are you a musician, writer, painter? Maybe you’re a great salesperson. Check out your local library’s website and see if they have any small business workshops or lectures coming up. Talk to small business owners. Read books and search online for new business opportunities.

You do have to be careful, because there are many scams online. Don’t buy into the “get rich quick” schemes. Really do your research, especially before you invest any of your hard-earned money. Get out there and take some chances. Don’t just sit around waiting for money to fall from the sky. Use this time wisely.
